Prisons are often far more than places with bars. They may follow us around in our daily life. He saves those He has chosen according to His own mercy. He redeems, regenerates and renews His children by His Holy Spirit. Faith comes from hearing and hearing through the Word of Christ. We are confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in us will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. May we walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. May our speech always be with grace and seasoned with salt.

Wearing Love!!!!!

We know this scripture and have heard and read it many times but do we really BELIEVE what it says? We must have LOVE! He is not talking about loving false teachings, loving sin, or even loving tolerance. He is talking about HIS PURE kind of love. When we serve others are we ruling it over them or are we truly serving with HIS LOVE? Are we willing to humble ourselves and LOVE them?

1 Corinthians 13

Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
